Background
----------

This statement on Schedule 13G/A amends the statement on Schedule 13G filed
by the reporting persons on January 22, 2001 (the "Original 13G") and the
amended Schedule 13G filed by the reporting persons on February 8, 2002
(the "13G/A No. 1").

During 2000, (i) LB/HRC Bond Investors LLC, a joint venture between HRC
Bond Investors LLC (an Oregon limited liability company) ("HRC Bond
Investors LLC") and LB Bond Investors LLC, and (ii) LB/HRC Bond Investors
II LLC, a joint venture between HRC Bond Investors LLC and LB Bond
Investors II LLC, purchased convertible subordinated debentures of the
issuer, American Retirement Corporation (the "ACR Bonds").

The Filing Persons disclaim the existence of a group pursuant to Rule 13d-5
with HRC Bond Investors LLC, and any or all of its members: Daniel R. Baty,
William E. Colson, Norman L. Brenden, Patrick F. Kennedy, Thilo D. Best and
Holiday Retirement Corp., an Oregon corporation (collectively, with HRC
Bond Investors LLC, the "HRC Investors").

On January 11, 2001 Holiday Retirement Corp. purchased shares of Common
Stock of the Issuer that would, if the HRC Investors and the Filing Persons
were deemed to be a group, result in the deemed beneficial ownership by
such group of more than 5% of the Common Stock of the Issuer.

On January 30, 2001, LB/HRC Bond Investors II LLC purchased an additional
$2,660,000 of 5 3/4% convertible subordinated debentures due 2002 with a
conversion price of $24.00 per share, convertible into 110,833 shares of
the Issuer's Common Stock.

During 2001, Lehman Brothers Inc. sold all the 5 3/4% convertible
subordinated debentures due 2002 of which it reported beneficial ownership
on the Original 13G. As a result, the Filing Persons have determined that
Lehman Brothers Inc., a Filing Person with respect to the Original 13G is
no longer a beneficial owner of securities of the Issuer and is not, and
would not be deemed to be, a member of the group identified in the Original
13G pursuant to Rule 13d-5.

The information in this filing with respect to the HRC Investors is, to the
best of the Filing Persons' knowledge, accurate as of December 31, 2001. On
January 23, 2001, the HRC Investors filed a Schedule 13G with respect to
their ownership of securities of the Issuer and reference is made to the
more detailed information contained therein, and in any amendments to such
Schedules that may be filed in the future.

PAMI LLC is wholly owned by Property Asset Management Inc.; Property Asset
Management Inc. is 99.75% owned by Lehman ALI Inc., and Lehman ALI Inc. is
wholly owned by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., a publicly held corporation.

Lehman Brothers Inc., which had been identified in the Original 13G as an
entity that may be deemed to be a member of the group, has been determined
by the Filing Persons not to be a beneficial owner of shares of Common
Stock of the Issuer, and not to be a member of any deemed group.

HRC Bond Investors LLC, is the managing member, and has the exclusive right
to make all investment decisions on its behalf. The remaining membership
interests in HRC Bond Investors LLC are held as follows: William E. Colson

Investors can be found in a Schedule 13G filing by such persons made on
January 23, 2001, and in any subsequent amendments filed by such persons.

To the best of the Filing Persons' knowledge, in addition to any beneficial
ownership interest that the HRC Investors, or any of them, may have in the
ACR Bonds (and the shares of Common Stock obtainable upon conversion
thereof) owned of record by LB/HRC Bond Investors LLC and LB/HRC Bond
Investors II LLC, the members of the HRC Investors are beneficial owners of
shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as follows: Daniel R. Baty, 2000
shares; William E. Colson, 214,500 shares, and Holiday Retirement Corp.,
271,100 shares. More detail as to ownership of securities of the Issuer by
the HRC Investors can be found in a Schedule 13G filing by such persons
made on January 23, 2001, and in any subsequent amendments filed by such
persons.

In the event that the Entities were deemed to be a group pursuant to Rule
13d-5 (such status is disclaimed by the Filing Persons), upon conversion of
all of the ACR Bonds held by LB/HRC Bond Investors LLC and LB/HRC Bond
Investors II LLC, the Entities would collectively own 1,407,767 shares of
Common Stock, constituting 7.7% of the Common Stock.
